Why You Shouldn’t Follow A Fad Diet Such As KETO or IIFYM

I recently made friends with a Russian guy who is a model and we’ve been going out a lot together and he’s always full of energy but the weird thing is that I’ve almost never seen him anything other than water melon.

The few times I saw him eat, he would only eat a bit of chicken breast and not even touch carbs or fats.

So one day I asked him about his daily diet and I was shocked to find out how he ate.

Here’s what he said he ate that day:

Breakfast around 3 PM: 1 small chicken breast.

Dinner around 8 PM: 2 yoghurts, 1 banana and 2 snickers.

And that’s about how his daily eating looks like at 6’1″ height.

Most people wouldn’t be able to function with such a low food intake.

Sex drive and energy levels would be non-existent and you would have a hard time going to sleep.

However, this is not the case for my friend.

He’s very lean, full of energy and has a high sex drive.

In other words, his body is resilient to the negative impacts of an extreme low Calorie diet.

This is the result of having above average genetics.

Above average genetics allow you to get away with many mistakes that us skinny-fat guys can’t get away with.

I’m 100% sure that if my friend started hitting the gym, he would build a better physique than me in less than 1 year regardless of what diet he follows.

He could go on a fad diet such as the KETO diet or IIFYM (If It Fits Your Macros) and that would be a massive improvement from how he’s eating right now.

There’s a reason to why these are the basics recommended by almost all nutrition experts.

These are the diet guide-lines that are optimal for +95% of the population.

There will always be some outliers such as my friend who can get away with 1 small chicken breast, 2 yoghurts, 1 banana and 2 snickers per day but these are not the people you want to compare yourself to.
